GOV. POINDEXTRR's LIMIT.
An Interesting Game of Poker Which
Bested Three Gamblers

FROM the Indianapolis journal.
A game long talked about on the river was
that played by Gov. George Pondexter, of Mis-
sissippi At one time he was fund commissioner
or something of that kind, for Mississippi. He
had business in New York to negotiate money
on bonds, ostensibly for internal improvements
in Mississippi. He was returning from that
city, and had a large sum of money with him
He left Louisville on a small stern wheel boat
and three gamblers took passage on the same
boat. They knew Poindexters fondness for
cards, that ne would play high and they made
up plot to clean him out, In those days they
played poker with twenty cards-the ace, king
queen, jack and ten of each suit The boat
was several days in getting from Louisville to
Cairo, and Poindexter and the three sharks
were busy at play. Then they usually played
without limit, and the result was the gamblers,
having played their fish long enough, were about
the table. Two of the gamblers dropped out
and the other, making heavy bet, piled up his
last dollar. The Governor said he didn't have
money enough there to call him, but he thought
he might be able to borrow.
Very well, - said the gambler, ''I'll give you
just ten minutes to raise the money!
PoindeXter went to his Stateroom, where he
had an old carpet sack with a trusty servant
guarding it, and returned to the gaming table,
followed by the darby with the carpet sack on
his shoulder.
open the sack, which was stuffed full of bank
notes, Il viii see you and go you $500, 900 better
And I'll give you an hour instead of ten minutes

The faces of those gamblers would have been
picture for painter. They got off the boat

shernan,s Effort in Ohio.

Evidences are multiplying in Ohio that
Senator John Sherman proposes to make
the great effort of his life to secure the Presi-
dental nomination of his party next year.
1t is stated that his managers have been
trying to purchase the support of an infiu-
entail Cincinnati newspaper, and have
failed. They regard an organ in Cincinnati
as necessity, but there doesn't appear to
be much prospect of their getting one.
The fact appears to be that Blaine's friends
are stronger than ever before in Ohio. 1t is
even limited that Gov. Foraker stands
chance of having more of the delegates to
the national convention than Sherman.
The Governor is the leader of the
young Republicans, and is very popular
with them. He has an idea that the Presi
Dental lightning may strike him.
OF course if Sherman cannot get the solid
delegation from his own State he will stand
no chance of being nominated. Indeed, he
would have to decline to permit his name to
go before the convention. He is a very
shrewd politician, however, and may sur
prise his enemies SO far as his own State is
concerned
Sherman hopes, if he can carry his own
State, that the Southern delegations will
flock to him. 1t is not improbable that he
has some hope of getting the colored dele
gates. His trip through the South couple
of months ago had for its object the stirring
up of the negro voters. They don't know
much about him, but if their preachers favor
him hecan depend on them to work and vote
for him.
If Mr. Sherman isn't nominated in 1888
it is not probable he ever will be. He is
now quite an old man, and his popularity is
declining He has been Presidential can
didate a long while, and the rank and file of
the party are getting tired of him in that
capacity If he fails next year he will be
eliminated from the Presidential POSSIBLE

McGlvnn,s Case Settled.

The letter of the Pope to Archbishop Cor
rigan, which we published in our dispatches
Sunday. indicates very clearly that the
head of the Catholic church does not pro-
pose to show further leniency 10 DIR. Nc
Glynn. He must choose at once between
his Socialistic teachings and his allegiance
to the Catholic church. He cannot longer
advocate the Henry George theory that
ownershipin land is robbery, and retain his
prieStly Office.
DR.. McGlynn has all along contended
that the Pope had not investigated Henry
Georges land theories, and that when he did
he would find in them nothing inconsistent
with the teachings of the Catholic church.
The letter, however, leaves no doubt that
he has examined them and that he con-
dennis them.
In this connection it is worthy of notice
that the effort to induce the Pope to con-
denim the Knights of Labor failed. No good
reason appeared, when their case was dis
cussed at Rome, why the church should in
terfere with an organization of worllingmen
which had only legitimate purposes in view.
The Knights of Labor organization, how
ever, is very different thing from the land
confiscation scheme which Henry
George and DIR. McGlynn are
advocating. The purpose of the
former is the improvement of the condition
of workingmen, though various causes may
prevent that purpose from being accomplish
ed The effect Of the latter, If it were car
ried out, would be to overthrow society and
substitute chaos for order. OF course the
church cannot permit its teachers to advo-
cate scheme so hostile to its best interests
and the interests of society.
The approval of the course of Archbishop
Corrigan, which is very pronounced in the let
ter of the Pope, is the strongest kind Of con-
demnation of DR.. McGlynn and those who
have sided with him in his disobedience DIR.
McGlynn knows now that he has been
shown all the consideration that is likely to
be extended to him. He has been dealt with
kindly and has been given every chance to
repair his error. If he still persists in his
course he will be accommodated. He may
continue to teach Socialism, but he will not
do so as priest of the Catholic church

The Surplus Problem.

No plan for disposing of the Treasury sur
plus that appears to be generally satisfac-
tory has yet been suggested. A day or two
ago the Secretary of the Treasury gave no
tice that he would pay all the outstanding
per cents. on July 1. The amount of these
is about $50, 10000. When they are paid
no more bonds will mature for several years.
If any are paid they will have to be pur
chased in the open market, and pretty high
premium will have to be given for them.
There is not much probability, however,
that the government will purchase bonds
But what is to be done with the surplus

more money now in the Treasury than there

A cable dispatch to the New York World
tells an interesting story of the Emperor
Williams escape from death by the prank
of a cat. The Emperor generally regales
himself in front of his bedroom fire with q
supper of fried fish before retiring at night.
With his usual keenness for economizing
time the old man eats his supper seated on
patent steaming apparatus ordered by his
physicians. A small boiler is placed
over the fire, and from this an India
rubber tube conveys steam into small
cell under the patients chair. While
the Emperor was eating his sup
per and enjoying the moist heat of the
steam, puff of smoke and SCOT came down
the chimney and made him start so violent
ly that the tube was disconnected and the
boiling water poured all over the room
The Emperor's luck did not desert him,
however, and he escaped without a scald,
to find that cat attracted by the smell of
the fried fish, had attempted to descend the
chimney and had got stuck in the fue, thus
causing the puff of smoke and SCOT. Here
after the Emperor's guards will doubtless
keep a strict watch upon all stray cats.

Coroners' Juries.

The death of Green Rickerson in the Bibb
county Jail recalls a case which must be of
interest to all those who watch the proceed
ings of coroners' juries in this StateI
One Sunday morning upon the Central
railroad track, near Mercer University, in
the city of Macon, a negro man was found
dead. Several trains had passed over him,
and his body was fearfully mangled. By his
clothes, however, he was identified as well
known hackman. Most of the Coroners Jury
were of the opinion that the hackman had
had been killed by a train, and such would
have been the verdict if police officer and
newspaper reporter had not made objec-
tons These two made a careful examina-
ton up and down the track near the spot
where the body was found, and discovered
a pool of blood which indicated that the
unfortunate hackman had been killed and
afterwards placed upon the railroad
track. Upon the suggestion of the
officer and the reporter the jury spent sew
eral days investigating the case, and the
result was verdict charging Green Rick
erson with having murdered the hackman.
Rickerson was arrested, tried and convicted,
and but for his death would undoubtedly
have suffered the penalty of his crime.
One of the results of the painstakiDg work
of the jury was that the Central railroad
was saved a suit for heavy damages.
Another was that succeeding coroner's
| iuries in Bib county have made it rule
| to discharge their duties lesurely and with
the object of getting at the truth
| The inefficiency of coroners' juries in
| Georgia has passed into a proverb. The sit
| tings are usually short, the examinations
hurried and superficial, ending in the ex-
| penditure of the States money without
compensating results. In most cases the
verdict amounts to nothing more than this:
1--WE, the jury, find that the dead man now
| lying before us is dead"
| Coroners, in common with other officers
of the law, have an important duty to dis
| charge. Whenever it is necessary to sum-
| mon a jury they ought to see that the in
| vestigation in hand is a thorough one.
| Otherwise the ends of justice may be de-
| feated. 1t would be better to spend month
upon single investigation than to let a
| crime go unpublished

IN "A coMATosB CONDITION.
Strange Case ofa Boy Suffering From
a Nervous Shock.


A dispatch from Detroit, Mich, to the New
York Times says: David Oppenheim, IS years
old is lying at the home of his parents in this
city in condition which puzzles some of the
best medical talent. He has been employed for
some time as night messenger, and is spoken of
by his employers as faithful and intelligent
lad The boys duties usually kept him up until
after daylight. An elder brother who occupies
the same room with David remembers that
about O'Clock Sunday morning the latter re-
turned home and crept shivering into bed His
brother asked what was wrong but received no
answer and soon afterward fell asleep. When
the family aWoke in the morning David was
found with his head covered under the bed
clothes, apparently wido awake but uncon-
sciOus of anything going an around him. When
spoken to he did not answer, but lay staring
wildly about. He remained in this peculiar
condition until the afternoon, when large
dog belonging to one of the neighbors
came into the house. AS soon as the boy saw
the animal he uttered a loud shrek and once
more covered his head with the clothes. When
his mother rushed to his side David exclaimed:
The dog the dog, for Gods sake put it out "
After the dog had been elected the boy became
more quiet, and when pressed by his mother to
tell what was wrong, he told in broken voice
that at about II o'clock the night before he had
been sent to take message TO a house on one of
the principal residence streets When he reached
the house large black dog jumped from the
gateway and snapped at him. In his fright the
boy ran, never stopping until he reached his
home. After telling this much David relapsed
into his comatose condition and has remained so
ever since. He spends the entire time in a sort
of doze, only waking sufficiently at long inter-
walls to take little food, and is unable to answer
any question in rational manner. A number
of leading physicians in the city have been called
in and all agree that the boy has received
severe nervous shock, evidently resulting from
fright. and that the case is one of the most re-
markable instances of nervous shock ever COM
ing under their notice.

Look After the Drainage.

There have been a good many cases of ty-
phoid fever in this city within the last few
months, and some of them have been of
very malignant type. A physician who is
in position to speak with authority said yes
terday that in almost every case the cause
of the disease could be traced to bad drain
age.
There is without doubt great deal of de-
fective plumbing in the city 1t is impossi-
BILE to have healthy homes if sewer gas is
permitted to escape into them. 1t is not
always possibleto detect the presence of this
gas, and the occupants of house into which
the gas escapes, may suffer for long time
from it without being seriously ill. Sooner
or later, however, some of them will be
taken down with diphtheria, typhoid fever
or some other disease which is produced by
bad drainage, and then the cause which has
been undermining their health begins to be
suspected.
1t would pay the head of every family to
have his premises thoroughly inspected at
least once year by a competent sanitary
engineer. The saving in doctors bills, let
alone the benefit to health, would many
times more than pay the cost of such in
spection. AS general thing, however, we
are inclined to think our premises are all
right until we are led to believe otherwise by
the appearance Of diseases which are caused
by poisons from closets and sewers.
